So with members' permission, we'll go into public session. Is that agreed? Agreed. And, as we have a quorum, the Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis is now in public session. And can I ask members and those in the public gallery to ensure that their mobile phone and devices are switched off.

This morning's session is a public hearing with Mr. Brian Goggin, chief executive officer, Bank of Ireland. And I would like to welcome everyone to the 22nd public hearing of the Joint Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis.
